 * I have the plugin installed and was curious what the general time was to create
   PDF’s. I know that each server setup is different, but I am seeing about 25 seconds
   for the PDF to generate.

 * Hi rjmccollam,
 * PDF generation time depends basically of your server configuration (memory…) 
   and how big (big images…) is the content printed in PDF.
 * In any case, 25 seconds is much time, can you post here an URL where I can see
   it? thanks.
 * Best.

 * I have checked the server php memory and it is set at 128.

 * Hi rjmccollam,
 * I can’t see it, I’m getting: Access to this site has been blocked by the network
   administrator (GeoIP)
 * if you’re using images, look at the size of the images, this can be a cause, 
   maybe there are others (huge amount of content to process… ).
 * If is possible, paste here an url of a screenshot with the whole WordPress page,
   this way I can figure it out better, thanks.
 * Best.

 * Here is a screenshot – [http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/835879/124b4e34fd0cf25dd0f6c16774240720](http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/835879/124b4e34fd0cf25dd0f6c16774240720)
 * I have edited the template to not include any images and remove all conditional
   logic to help with speeds, but we sit at around 20 seconds still.

 * Hi rjmccollam,
 * I did not know about awesomescreenshot, looks very nice, it’s a free service?
 * about generation time, 128 php memory is enough, I have the same value in the
   hosting of the demo.
 * If is possible, can you do this for checking that the problem is or not related
   to the Theme you’re using:
    – Switch temporally to [Twenty Fifteen Theme](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyfifteen/)
   and see if the problem persists.
 * Another thing is look at how many resources your plugins are consuming, you can
   see this using [P3 Profiler](https://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/) plugin
   that scans all your plugins and shows how many resources are consuming each of
   them.
 * Best.
